A 3-D Printed Microfluidics Device

In a process named “digital light processing stereolithography (DLP-SLA),” engineers at Brigham Young University have created the first 3-D printed microfluidic device with channels that are 18 x 20 micrometers in size which is five times smaller than existing devices. This affords smaller samples, but 3-D printing opens the way for mass production of these biomedical tools. MORE
